Sword Art Online Reflection

These are some thoughts that I had while taking in the transmedia text Sword art online, on a few different mediums and platforms:

Anime

The anime was my first point of contact to the series, which I feel best shows the overlining structure of the narrative that is created.

The text is focused on a new game known as sword art online that uses the Nerve Gear system, to allow players to experience a virtual world similar to the real one. That turns out to be a trap that imprisons the players in the game, until someone completes it.

The story follows two protagonist, Kirito and Asuna (though mainly Kirito) as they try to live their lives in the game and complete it.
